ive got a picture on the wall of my bar, i grabbed a BIG one (crocodile hunter style) out of the hudson river last year. she was about 35lbs and in 2 feet of water on a tidal flat. i had to run out about 30 yards to grab her. my kids were loving it! ( i was doing the Aussie accent while doing it)

we checked her out (she was full of eggs) and let her go to make more turtles. if i can find someone with a scanner i'll post the pic. it was pretty cool.
